Every year in late August, the renowned Early Music Festival takes place in the Dutch city of Utrecht. It is the world's largest festival focused on early music, attracting an audience of over 70 thousand visitors. Due to the corona pandemic, the 2020 edition of the festival took place in an alternative form, offering an alternative program that included live concerts as well as daily livestreams of concerts and archive recordings. As part of this festival edition, Swiss-born fortepianist Ursula Dütschler performs 12 Progressive Lessons, Op. 32, by Czech composer Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812). Fortepianist and harpsichordist Dütschler performs as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles in various concert halls and at festivals. This performance was recorded at St. Gertrude's Chapel in Utrecht on August 27, 2020.
